Aquatic Biomes

An aquatic biome encompasses vast bodies of water and the diverse life they support. Covering over 75% of the Earth's surface, aquatic biomes include freshwater and saltwater ecosystems. Freshwater biomes begin with natural springs and melting snow, giving rise to rivers and streams rich in life like trout and various plant species. Saltwater habitats, such as oceans and coral reefs, host an abundance of marine life, including fish, crustaceans, and sea turtles. These interconnected ecosystems play crucial roles in the planet's ecological balance.

Freshwater fish can be found in streams and rivers, such as trout and salmon. Algae, fungi and other plant life.

  5. Salt Water Saltwater habitats include oceans( inhabited by algae, sea snails, octopuses, fish, crustaceans).
